On the morning of May 26, the 2022 Shanghai Science and Technology Award Conference was held in the central hall of the Shanghai Exhibition Center, grandly commending scientific and technological workers who have made outstanding contributions to the country, Shanghai's scientific and technological undertakings and modernization. The "Key Technology and Industrialization of Automobile Brake-by-Wire System" project jointly declared by Tongyu Automobile and Tongji University won the first prize of the Science and Technology Progress Award.
The Shanghai Science and Technology Award was established by the Shanghai Municipal People's Government, focusing on rewarding original innovations in scientific discoveries and technological inventions, promoting the transformation of economic development methods and cultivating strategic industries, promoting urban safety, healthy ecological development, and promoting district and county innovation capabilities and economic development major scientific and technological achievements.
The 2022 Shanghai Science and Technology Award review work adheres to the evaluation orientation of the quality, performance, and contribution of scientific and technological innovation, closely integrates scientific and technological awards with major national strategic needs, and increases awards for basic research and original inventions.
Since 2012, the core team of Tongyu has started from basic research to forward research and development, step by step until the formal establishment of Tongyu Automobile in 2016 and the transformation of industrial application results. Tongyu Automobile has been deeply integrating industry, academia, research and capital use, giving full play to their respective advantages, exploring and forming an integrated system of forward-looking basic research on the core technology of wire-controlled chassis, cross-technology application development, production services, etc., and has demonstrated comprehensive advantages in the operation process .
The automobile industry is a pillar industry of my country's national economy. In recent years, the electrification and intelligence of automobiles have shown a trend of accelerated development. The independent innovation of its core technology is the key to "transforming from big to strong" in my country's automobile industry. Automotive chassis brake-by-wire technology is crucial to reducing energy consumption of electric vehicles and realizing assisted and automatic driving, and has become the focus of technological competition in the international automotive industry.
Focusing on the three technical problems of "foreign patent blockade, configuration design is difficult", "time-varying disturbance is large, pressure control is difficult", "dynamic constraints are many, electro-hydraulic coordination is difficult", with "basic research-technology research and development-industrial application" In order to study the path, Tongyu Automobile has obtained the key points of automotive brake-by-wire from highly integrated decoupling brake-by-wire system design technology, to high-robust brake fluid pressure control technology, and to high-energy-efficiency electro-hydraulic brake coordinated control technology. A major original breakthrough in technology and industrialization.
At present, the company's achievements have been applied to more than 100 models of passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and unmanned vehicles, breaking the dilemma of long-term foreign dependence on core auto parts in my country and improving my country's independent innovation capabilities in the core technology field of intelligent chassis. And produced better economic and social benefits.
In August last year, Tongyu Automobile announced the completion of nearly 200 million yuan in A+ round financing. Xiaomi Industrial Investment and Dongfeng Bank of Communications jointly lead the investment, and at the same time continue to promote the innovation and upgrade of core products such as EHB (two-box), iEHB (one-box), EPB, ABS, and ESC.
About Tongyu
Tongyu Automobile was founded in Shanghai, China in 2016. It is one of the first batch of key incubators of Tongji University, specializing in special new enterprises and national high-tech enterprises. Tongyu focuses on the R&D and industrialization of the "next-generation control-by-wire chassis key technology". It is a leading first-tier supplier of automotive intelligent chassis systems in China. Escort.
Since 2012, the core team of Tongyu has independently researched and developed, breaking the monopoly of foreign technology, and has excellent research and development strength and profound technical accumulation in the field of online control chassis. Tongyu has two bases in Jiading, Shanghai and Yichun, Jiangxi, and has built an intelligent manufacturing center with an annual production capacity of 1.12 million sets. Tongyu has provided more than 100 models for more than 80 well-known customers.
In 2022, Tongyu's EHB brake-by-wire system shipments will reach the order of 200,000 units, and it is one of the very few companies in the world that have the mass production capacity of EHB brake-by-wire systems. Tongyu's vision is to make cars safer, more comfortable, and smarter through the key core technologies of the self-innovated drive-by-wire chassis.
